I got this in my happy meal instead of the hello kitty toy I was promised. That being said not a bad book. Kinda questionable with some of the colors of these animals. Like a blue snail? A purple spider?

This is a super cute book for babies. My daughter who is one loves to flip through the pages and open the flaps. It’s quite durable, so it’s nice that she can have fun with it. She asks for it to be read over and over and over. The pictures are beautiful and the rhyming is easy to read aloud, so I don’t mind the repetition.

This is an enlightening piece of literature which delves into the natural world. It is easily understandable for all readers due to its modern and simplistic style. It vividly describes the colors of various flora and fauna which can be found in the readers own backyard, thus creating a meaningful connection between the story and its reader. Overall, this book was quite a pleasant read.

This is the greatest piece of literature I have ever read. It was very inspiring and brought a tear to my eye. I highly recommend this groundbreaking book. I got it from a McDonald's Happy Meal, and I was hesitant at first, but thankfully, I gave it a chance. My favorite part was when the two hungry bunnies came in. There was so much depth to the character that I was astonished . This book had a fantastic resolution at the end, which really wrapped up the book and didn't leave any cliffhangers. This is probably my new favorite book.

There is nothing groundbreaking in this particular tome -- it's a pretty generic color book -- but the board stock and the flaps are strong enough to keep from being destroyed by a toddler, the colors are bright, and the writing doesn't get in the way.

Not something I jump to read the kiddo but definitely a good one for them to flip through on their own.

My daughter loves this book. She is 18 months old and this is her favorite story. I’ve probably read it to her a hundred times. She loves lifting the flaps herself and pointing to animals and insects in the garden. As her mom, I love how sturdy the flaps are since she is not always gentle, and the illustrations are beautiful.

She is going to be a bee for Halloween this year.

We love this rhyming color themed book! It's been my daughter's favorite book for months and she just adores it! I find myself reciting it from memory to her often, but I don't even mind getting it stuck in my head; it's just too cute!

Such an adorable book! My toddler loves lifting the flaps to see what is underneath! I love that it is very chunky and sturdy, sure to hold up for many reading sessions. The rhymes are great for language development and the illustrations are bright and attention grabbing!

I like that the pages and flaps are super thick in the Cottage Door Press book. I like the rhymes within the sentences and it makes for a nice read aloud. I personally am not a fan of the super busy art style of these books. There is too much going on the pages for me personally.

[Katie Ingle · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a fun book for babies and toddlers. Has flaps that are very sturdy and are easy to open after the first few times. Good book to have your child point things out and also learn colors.

[R.H. Berry · Rating 5 out of 5]

My baby’s favourite book!

[Nora · Rating 5 out of 5]

My 8 month old daughter LOVES this book. The thicker flaps and pages are perfect for her little hands. Such pretty pictures, too.

Great book to get kids to engage with books. It is interactive, rhymes, and allows for a guessing aspect as well that coincides with tactile learning as well.

Adorable! A short story about a little yellow bee and her friends.

[Catherine Woodman · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is really aimed at toddlers and younger, a board book with sturdy flaps to fold up. Pleasant illustrations and requires some motor skills, so good developmentally.

Art work was beautiful and colorful

[Karla · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved reading this book to my daughter. She’s learned a lot by looking at the pictures.

Love this book. My son is obsessed with bumblebees & he loves to find them on each page. Very cute chunky flap book for little ones.

[Marc Pagliuca · Rating 4 out of 5]

Oh to be a little yellow bee with no cares in the world zipping around a little utopian forest.

[Alessandra · Rating 2 out of 5]

Read the physical copy to my son & daughter after my son brought it to me. He lost interest half way. Daughter was sleeping.

[Allison Roy · Rating 5 out of 5]

We have another (or a few) books like this (the frog being one of his faves). But it’s a good size board book, with flaps on each page and he loves flipping through them.

E gives it a 10/10

So precious! Baby C loves the colors!
